Command Force Cookies Policy

Our Cookies Policy forms part of our general Privacy Policy. You can also read the full Privacy Policy.

In common with most other websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to help us understand how people use commandforce.com so that we can keep improving our platform. We have created this Cookies Policy to provide you with clear and explicit information about the technologies that we use on commandforce.com, and your choices when it comes to these technologies.

If you choose to use the Platform without blocking or disabling cookies or opting out of other technologies, you will indicate your consent to our use of these cookies and other technologies and to our use (in accordance with this policy and the rest of our Privacy Policy) of any personal information that we collect using these technologies. If you do not consent to the use of these technologies, please be sure to block or disable them using your browser settings, the opt-out links identified in this policy, or the settings within our mobile apps.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. These text files can be read by these websites and help to identify you when you return to a website. Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your computer when you have gone offline, while session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set and how to block and delete cookies, please visit aboutcookies.org.

Our Cookies

We use our own cookies to recognise you when you visit our website or use our apps. This means that you may not have to log in each time you visit, and we can remember your preferences and settings while logged in.

Cookie data is not stored on the user side in browsers, rather in sessions on the server side where they are more secure. When you logout, your session is destroyed and the associated cookies made inert.

Third Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may work with various reputable companies, such as Google Analytics, to help us analyse how the platform is used, and to optimise our website and apps to deliver the best possible experience. The following companies may help us achieve this through use of cookies:

Google Analytics and Google Website Optimizer

Google Analytics and Google Website Optimizer are services provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use our website, our mobile site and any commandforce.com players embedded on third party sites. Google Web Optimzer uses the same cookies to measure how different users respond to different content. The information generatedby these cookies (including your truncated IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your, and other users', use of our website, mobile site and commandforce.com media, compiling reports for us on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. Please note that Google only receives your truncated IP address. This is sufficient for Google to identify (approximately) the country from which you are visiting our sites or accessing our media, but is not sufficient to identify you, or your computer or mobile device, individually.

Google cookies are those beginning “__ut”.

You can find more Google Privacy information here, including a link to Google's privacy policy.

To opt out of this analysis by Google, please see the Opting Out section below.

Google AdWords and Google Remarketing

We use the online advertising program Google AdWords and the GoogleRemarketing technology, both operated by the company Google Inc. ("Google") .

For measuring conversion with Google AdWords, a conversion tracking cookie is placed when a user clicks on a Command Force advertisement delivered by Google (“Ads”). Conversion tracking cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Google uses a different cookie for each Google AdWords customer and there is no consolidation of the cookie data with other data. If you click on one of our ads and proceed to a page equipped with a conversion tag and the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion is documented. With the help of the conversion tracking cookie we see the total number of conversions and are able to review the performance of our ads. You can find more information about Google AdWords here.

When you click on one of our Ads, a Google Remarketing cookie is placed. This cookie helps to serve our Ads to you at a later time when you browse pages of the Google content network. Remarketing cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Get more information on Google Remarketing.

Google cookies are those beginning “__ut”.

Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may also use the following standard Internet technologies in connection with your use of the platform:

• Clear GIFs: We use “clearGIFs”, sometimes known as “web bugs”, which are small image files that we embed into our email correspondence. These clear GIFs tell us whether you opened the newsletter, clicked on any of the content or forwarded the newsletter to someone else. This provides us with useful information regarding the effectiveness of our emails, as well as your company emails, which we can use to ensure that we are delivering information that is relevant to our users and your customers.

• HTML5 local storage: We may use HTML5 local storage to store your default content (i.e. pertintent information relating to commandforce.com access and/or usage). If you access the mobile version of our website, we use HTML5 local storage to store certain cookie data, including your user information, authentication data, your username and your display preferences. We may further use HTML5 local storage to store the tracking IDs of pertinent records. This information helps us to configure content that you need while using the platform without being logged in or when you sign up for a commandforce.com account or are logged in to your account. Depending on your browser, you can remove local storage when clearing your cache and cookies. We do not use HTML5 local storage to collect any personal data.

• Activity tracking: We utilize standard practises to track the use of our app when you are logged in. Tracking includes vital information that provides you with analytical reporting of employee usage, customer usage, and other ingredients for a more successful business evaluation.

• Personalized advertising on mobile devices: Where cookie technology is not available, other unique identifiers may be used instead (e.g. in mobile applications), which perform similar functions, such as IDFA, Android-ID or the Google Advertiser ID. To opt-out of identifiers on mobile, please see the Opting Out section below.
